Chocolate

I love the time of Easter, When my children get a chocolate treat

For when they've gone to bed at night, Into the kitchen I do creep

I thought I would just have a nibble, So small that they wouldn’t know

But the chocolate tasted so good, That I had to have a little more

At first I broke off a corner, Then turned it so they couldn’t see

But then I turned it around again, Well the box was shouting at me!!

I thought the kids, they wouldn't mind, After all I am their mum

I looked down at the empty box, Oh lord what have I done?

So now I have a big problem, I need help for goodness sake

For I need to buy more chocolate, Before tomorrow my children awake...
